Musée Historique de St. Paul Historical Museum

St. Paul has a rich history; this area was important to First Nations groups and fur traders. The important Winnipeg Trail from Fort Winnipeg to Fort Edmonton passed through here; Father Lacombe established a Metis settlement on the shore of our local lake in 1896. The Metis settlement was opened up to homesteaders in 1909, most of whom came from Quebec, which made St. Paul a predominantly French town. This well-researched story is eloquently told through a series of displays representing each time period, and illustrated with beautiful artifacts.
